Tips on Writing Your Book

 From Australia's Brisbane Times: So you want to write a book? Bestselling authors share their top tips.

I particularly like this one from C.S. Pacat (it is something I figured out on my own while in prison):

Write the book that you want to read. This is a cliche, but few people actually do it. Imagine that you are walking into a bookshop or a library. There is a book you are looking for but never find. The reason you never find it is that this book doesn’t exist on the shelves. This book exists only within you.

I must admit, it seems what I want to read does not seem to be what editors want to read. My only solution to that problem is to keep writing. So add this advice to that above: keep plugging away.
